The Secretariat of Labour, Employment and Social Security (Spanish: Secretaría de Trabajo, Empleo y Seguridad Social) is a secreariat of the Argentine Government tasked with overseeing the country's public policies on labour conditions, employment and social security. Until 2023, it was a ministry.

It proposes, designs, elaborates, administers and supervises the policies in all that is inherent to the relations and individual and collective conditions of work, to the legal regime of collective bargaining and of the professional associations of workers and employers, to employment, job training and social security. In addition, it was informally tasked with overseeing the government's relationship with Argentina's trade unions.[3]

History[edit]

It was founded in 1943 by Decree-Law No. 15,074 as the Secretariat of Labour and Prevision (STYP), assuming the functions of the former National Department of Labor, but also incorporating different agencies that previously functioned in various government agencies, such as the National Retirement and Pension Fund, the National Directorate of Public Health and Social Assistance, the National Board for Combat Unemployment, and the Rental Chamber, among others. The secretariat was then elevated to ministerial level in the first cabinet of President Juan Perón; the first minister was José María Freire.[4]

Its function was to centralize all the social action of the State and supervise compliance with labor laws, for which it had regional delegations throughout the country.5​ The services and powers of a conciliatory and conciliatory nature were also transferred to the Secretariat. arbitration, as well as the functions of labor police, industrial hygiene services, inspection of mutual associations and those related to maritime, river and port work. At the same time, the labor departments, directorates or offices and the existing organizations and services in the provinces were converted into regional Labor and Welfare delegations.

It was briefly disestablished during the dictatorship of Juan Carlos Onganía, being restored during the third and last presidency of Perón in 1973. It was also demoted to a secretariat for a short period during the presidency of Mauricio Macri, from 2018 to 2019.[5]

The ministry was dissolved on December 10, 2023 following a presidential decree from President Javier Milei, and incorporated as a secretariat supervised by the Ministry of Human Capital.[6] Omar Yasín was appointed as secretary.[2]
